I may well have seen this at a few of the shows when i went with the PNG.

Ive probably got some photos of it from the shows.

Yeah your right it certainly does attract them in summer when its flipping to blue from purple.
The birds love it and its just a manly enough purple to get away with it without my sexuality being questioned:thumbsup: :lol:
